Description

この発明は、増幅素子を多段に接続し、帯域阻止フィルタを設けた多段低雑音増幅器に関する。   The present invention relates to a multistage low noise amplifier in which amplifying elements are connected in multiple stages and provided with a band rejection filter.

従来の多段低雑音増幅器は、マイクロ波信号に対する不要波の出力を抑圧するために帯域阻止フィルタを設けている。帯域阻止フィルタは多段に接続された増幅素子の主線路に並列に接続している(例えば特許文献1参照)。   The conventional multistage low noise amplifier is provided with a band rejection filter in order to suppress the output of unnecessary waves with respect to the microwave signal. The band rejection filter is connected in parallel to the main line of the amplifying elements connected in multiple stages (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

しかしながら、従来の多段低雑音増幅器は、不要波の出力を阻止するための帯域阻止フィルタを主線路に対して並列に設けて接地しているので、多段低雑音増幅器の損失が増えるという問題がある。また、帯域阻止フィルタとは別に、主線路にバイアス回路を接続し、バイアス回路と帯域阻止フィルタの間の主線路にDCカット用キャパシタを接続することになるので、その分だけ回路が大きくなるという問題がある。   However, the conventional multistage low noise amplifier has a problem that the loss of the multistage low noise amplifier increases because a band rejection filter for blocking the output of unnecessary waves is provided in parallel with the main line and grounded. . In addition to the band rejection filter, a bias circuit is connected to the main line, and a DC cut capacitor is connected to the main line between the bias circuit and the band rejection filter. There's a problem.

この発明は係る課題を解決するためになされたものであって、帯域阻止フィルタによる多段低雑音増幅器の損失を抑えるとともに、回路の小型化を図ることを目的とする。   The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to suppress the loss of the multistage low noise amplifier due to the band rejection filter and to reduce the size of the circuit.

この発明による多段低雑音増幅器は、複数の増幅素子と、上記それぞれの増幅素子の段間に接続され、インダクタおよび第1のキャパシタからなる直列回路と第2のキャパシタとの並列回路と、上記増幅素子と並列回路の間に接続され、インダクタ、キャパシタおよびバイアス端子からなるバイアス回路と、を備えたものである。   The multi-stage low noise amplifier according to the present invention includes a plurality of amplifying elements, a parallel circuit of a series circuit composed of an inductor and a first capacitor and a second capacitor connected between the stages of the amplifying elements, and the amplifying circuit. And a bias circuit connected between the element and the parallel circuit and including an inductor, a capacitor, and a bias terminal.

この発明によれば、帯域阻止フィルタによる多段低雑音増幅器の損失を抑えるとともに、回路の小型化を図ることができる。   According to the present invention, the loss of the multistage low noise amplifier due to the band rejection filter can be suppressed, and the circuit can be miniaturized.

One end of the inductor 2 is connected between the drain of the FET 1 and the band rejection filter 8, and the other end is connected to one electrode of the capacitor 4. The source of the FET 1 is grounded. A bias terminal 3 is connected between the inductor 2 and the capacitor 4. The other electrode of the capacitor 4 is grounded. The bias terminal 3 supplies bias power to the drain of the FET 1.

バイアス回路15は、インダクタ11と、バイアス端子9と、抵抗10と、DCカット用のキャパシタ4で構成される。インダクタ11は、一端が帯域阻止フィルタ8とインダクタ12の一端の間に接続され、他端がキャパシタ4の一方の電極に接続される。インダクタ2とキャパシタ4の間にバイアス端子3が接続される。キャパシタ4の他方の電極は接地されている。インダクタ12の他端はFET13のゲートに接続される。FET13のソースは接地されている。バイアス端子9はFET13のゲートにバイアス電源を供給する。   The bias circuit 15 includes an inductor 11, a bias terminal 9, a resistor 10, and a DC cut capacitor 4.

A bias terminal 3 is connected between the inductor 2 and the capacitor 4. The other electrode of the capacitor 4 is grounded. The other end of the inductor 12 is connected to the gate of the FET 13. The source of the FET 13 is grounded. The bias terminal 9 supplies bias power to the gate of the FET 13.

帯域阻止フィルタ8は、インダクタ5と、第1のキャパシタであるキャパシタ6と、第2のキャパシタであるキャパシタ7から構成される。インダクタ5とキャパシタ6は直列に接続される。キャパシタ7は、インダクタ5とキャパシタ6の直列回路に対して、並列に接続される。   The band rejection filter 8 includes an inductor 5, a capacitor 6 that is a first capacitor, and a capacitor 7 that is a second capacitor. The inductor 5 and the capacitor 6 are connected in series. The capacitor 7 is connected in parallel to the series circuit of the inductor 5 and the capacitor 6.

次に、実施の形態1による多段低雑音増幅器の動作について説明する。
FET1、FET13は、入力された高周波信号を多段に増幅する。FET1で増幅された高周波信号の基本波は、インダクタ5とキャパシタ6を直列接続した回路に並列にキャパシタ7を装荷した帯域阻止フィルタ8に、入力する。帯域阻止フィルタ8において、インダクタ5とキャパシタ6の直列回路が基本波で直列共振することにより、基本波が低損失で通過する。
Next, the operation of the multistage low noise amplifier according to the first embodiment will be described.
FET1 and FET13 amplify the input high frequency signal in multiple stages. The fundamental wave of the high frequency signal amplified by the FET 1 is input to a band rejection filter 8 in which a capacitor 7 is mounted in parallel to a circuit in which an inductor 5 and a capacitor 6 are connected in series. In the band rejection filter 8, the series circuit of the inductor 5 and the capacitor 6 undergoes series resonance with the fundamental wave, so that the fundamental wave passes with low loss.

ここで、インダクタ5をL、キャパシタ6をCとすると、インダクタ5とキャパシタ6の直列接続により構成される直列共振回路は、基本波fで共振する。直列共振は式(1)で表現される。 Here, when the inductor 5 is L 1 and the capacitor 6 is C 1 , the series resonance circuit constituted by the series connection of the inductor 5 and the capacitor 6 resonates at the fundamental wave f 0 . Series resonance is expressed by equation (1).

Figure 2016163282
Figure 2016163282

また、基本波fより高い周波数の不要波f(>f)は、インダクタ5とキャパシタ6の直列共振回路のインダクタ成分Lは、式(2)で表現される。 In addition, for the unnecessary wave f (> f 0 ) having a frequency higher than the fundamental wave f 0, the inductor component L 2 of the series resonant circuit of the inductor 5 and the capacitor 6 is expressed by Expression (2).

Figure 2016163282
Figure 2016163282

さらに、式(1)、(2)より、式(3)が得られる。   Furthermore, Formula (3) is obtained from Formulas (1) and (2).

Figure 2016163282
Figure 2016163282

キャパシタ7をCとすると、インダクタ5およびキャパシタ6の直列共振回路とキャパシタ7の並列回路は、インダクタ成分Lと不要波fで並列共振することから、式(4)で表現される。 Assuming that the capacitor 7 is C 2 , the series resonant circuit of the inductor 5 and the capacitor 6 and the parallel circuit of the capacitor 7 resonate in parallel with the inductor component L 2 and the unnecessary wave f, and therefore are expressed by Expression (4).

Figure 2016163282
Figure 2016163282

したがって、インダクタ5およびキャパシタ6の直列共振回路とキャパシタ7の並列回路の並列共振により、不要波fの通過が阻止される。   Therefore, the unnecessary wave f is prevented from passing by the parallel resonance of the series resonance circuit of the inductor 5 and the capacitor 6 and the parallel circuit of the capacitor 7.

ここで、インダクタ5のL、キャパシタ6のCのいずれかを決めれば、式(2)〜(4)により、キャパシタ7のCを求めることができる。 Here, if either L 1 of the inductor 5 or C 1 of the capacitor 6 is determined, C 2 of the capacitor 7 can be obtained by the equations (2) to (4).

実施の形態1による多段低雑音増幅器は、複数の増幅素子であるFET1,13と、上記それぞれの増幅素子の段間に接続され、インダクタ5および第1のキャパシタ6からなる直列回路と第2のキャパシタ7との並列回路である帯域阻止フィルタ8と、上記増幅素子と並列回路の間に接続され、インダクタ2、キャパシタ4およびバイアス端子3からなるバイアス回路14と、インダクタ11、キャパシタ4およびバイアス端子9からなるバイアス回路15を備えたものである。   The multistage low noise amplifier according to the first embodiment includes a series circuit including a plurality of amplifying elements FET1 and 13 and an inductor 5 and a first capacitor 6 connected between the stages of the amplifying elements. A band rejection filter 8 that is a parallel circuit with the capacitor 7, a bias circuit 14 that is connected between the amplifying element and the parallel circuit and includes the inductor 2, the capacitor 4, and the bias terminal 3, and the inductor 11, the capacitor 4, and the bias terminal. 9 is provided with a bias circuit 15 consisting of nine.

このようにFET1,FET13の段間に帯域阻止フィルタ8を設けることで、基本波fを通過させ、不要波fの通過を阻止することができる。また、キャパシタ6とキャパシタ7により、バイアス回路14とバイアス回路15の間のDCカット用のキャパシタを兼用して構成することができる。このため、バイアス回路14とバイアス回路15の間と、帯域阻止フィルタ8とバイアス回路14またはバイアス回路15の間に、別のDCカット用のキャパシタを設ける必要がないので、回路をより小型にすることができる。 By thus providing the band-stop filter 8 between the stages of the FET1, FET 13, passed through a fundamental wave f 0, it is possible to prevent the passage of unwanted waves f. Further, the capacitor 6 and the capacitor 7 can also be configured as a DC cut capacitor between the bias circuit 14 and the bias circuit 15. For this reason, there is no need to provide another DC-cutting capacitor between the bias circuit 14 and the bias circuit 15 and between the band rejection filter 8 and the bias circuit 14 or the bias circuit 15, so that the circuit can be made smaller. be able to.
